We’re proud to announce the launch of our new apprentice programme, providing real experience and enabling people to develop their careers at a 21st-century organisation.

Following on the heels of our internship programme, the new apprenticeship programme marks another big step forward for FutureGov. We’re excited to offer people the opportunity to kick-start a career at a 21st-century organisation, gaining new skills that are relevant to our organisation and our sector.

We’re not just helping develop the skills we need, but future-proofing the skills, culture and ways of working needed across our sector to continue building organisations of the future.

Leaders of the future

Our apprenticeship programme will help people take the first step on their journey to becoming future leaders and mentors in health and public services. By developing new talent under our wing, we can instil and nurture our culture and ways of working so up and coming talent understand our business, our sector and the need to build people and organisations that are models of the world we want to create.

Bringing enthusiastic individuals into real roles at FutureGov, we’re on a mission to ensure our apprentices will be of value to our organisation through consistent one-to-one mentoring and training as they progress through the scheme. The completion of our apprenticeship programme will guarantee they become well-trained and highly-skilled individuals, ready for a career within our sector.

“I’m thrilled we’re launching our new apprenticeship programme today. Our apprentices will receive dedicated mentoring and support to help them develop new skills, whilst helping us solve public service challenges through their work. I’m so pleased we’re able to offer these opportunities to work in such an exciting sector and I’m looking forward to learning a lot from the people in these roles.” — Matt Skinner, Managing Director

Calling all bid coordinators

We’re starting the apprenticeship programme by looking for aspiring bid coordinators who want to work in an experienced team, gaining practical knowledge and qualification to step into the world of bid management.

In this paid position, the successful applicant will participate in active bids, learning everything about the bids process from governance to end-to-end tender processes. Working alongside the Project Directors and the wider company, they’ll learn how the sales process and teams contribute to a project as a whole.

“The unusual thing about bid management is that most companies have the function, but there hasn’t been an obvious entry point until now. We’re looking for an enthusiastic, creative and organised person to come, train with us and take their first step into a varied and exciting career.” — Anna Inman, Client Director

You don’t need to have previous experience in bids and proposals to be eligible to apply. We think this role could be the perfect opportunity for creative, ambitious individuals to gain skills while learning and completing their apprenticeship in Bid and Proposal Coordination.

You can apply now for our bid coordinator apprenticeship on our website.
